SPAIN – My first stop in Europe… I manifested Europe this year…and it happened. Manifest. Manifest. Manifest… it works :)

What an amazing Spanish adventure. Shooting with Mister Zimi being one of the highlights! What an epic couple of days, such an awesome crew!

And thank you Malen from LAYER BOOTS who took me under her wing and looked after me in my state of zombie like jet-lag, she introduced me to Barcelona and let me stay in her home and sent all my winter clothes back to Australia for me (yep, i packed for winter, had no idea European summers were so hot!)

But those beaches in northern Spain… drool. absolutely stunning!! no words! Definately a highlight!

HOTEL PARADISO
SPELL & THE GYPSY COLLECTIVE S15/16 CAMPAIGN

HAIR: Kept things pretty simple – island vibe hair, salty and textured. I prepped with anti.gravity spray by Kevin Murphy, hot tongs to add controlled curl to the hair, then textured it up with some resort.spray by Kevin Murphy.

MAKEUP: a mixture of YSL foundation & MAC face & body, BECCA liquid illuminser in Opal. NARS eye colours.

Barefoot Bride
SPELL BRIDAL ’15

No words to describe this island except – Paradise. Was such a treat shooting the very first SPELL BRIDAL campaign here on Rawa Island with the sweet angel Louise Mikkelsen. I kept her look very natural, embracing the island vibe of tanned duey skin, and beachy blonde textured waves. Spelly worked her magic on-set creating a dream island bridal setting which was beautiful captured by Johnny Abegg, behind the camera.

Hope you enjoy this shoot as much as me! Dream bride!!

BODY: Sugarbaby Beauty (body bronzer)
FACE: MAC Face & body foundation mixed with YSL foundation, NARS ‘casino’ face bronzer, Becca liquid highlighter.
HAIR: Prepped with Kevin Murphy ANTI.GRAVITY spray, tonged with hot curling wand, finished with Kevin Murphy RESORT.SPRAY.

HERE COMES THE SUN, LITTLE DARLING

This was probably literally the HOTTEST day of the whole year! I think we shot for about 1 or 2 hours, hopping around on burning sand, skulling coconut water, phones melting… & all of us… jumping in the ocean, was the ONLY way to finish the shoot!

Christina our model muse, what a sunkist Bardot beauty! Always amazing working with her! She shines like the sun!
And Carly Brown, our HOT talented Byron Bay photographer, snapped away in the scorching heat and strong winds… capturing some of my favourite ever moments! Loved a day in the sun with these girls, may there be many more!

CHRISTINA’S HAIR:

I created Chrissi’s summer locks with a selection of hair extensions from Medussa Hair Extension, creating a belyage look.
I left her hair pretty natural, chosing not to use a hot curling tong,  instead just beached her hair up with some product from KEVIN.MUPRHY | the RESORT.SPRAY which creates a beachy tousled texture!
I absolutely swear by KEVIN.MURPHY and use most of their products on any job i do.
Their products just smell so good, my models and brides love it! It’s like aromatherapy for your hair!
